Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Reference Materials lesson plan also includes:

After a class discussion where kids share how they find answers to their questions, learners explore the world of reference materials such as, an atlas, an almanac, and an encyclopedia. The Internet is also discussed as a way to access many reference materials quickly. Pupils work as partners and use multiple resources to complete a scavenger hunt in which they must answer 15 questions. Learners keep track of the reference source they used to answer each of the questions, and they discuss the ones they thought were the easiest to use. A terrific worksheet is embedded in the plan, which will make this lesson easy to implement.
